Finding housing nowadays is already near impossible, and when you add your pet into the mix, housing options almost become obsolete. It's a tough world out there for the animal lovers. But this thread might give you a little tinge of hope as pawrents swap stories of getting caught red-pawed and the surprising (and sometimes heartwarming) responses from their landlords. While a few landlords held their ground with strict "no-pet" policies, a surprising number turned a blind eye.
Take my own experience, for example. I had a Pitbull (the sweetest, most lovable pup ever), but my apartment complex didn't allow "aggressive" breeds. Sounds a bit like discrimination, right? Since my dog was a mutt, I had taken a DNA test and found out she was 12% Boston Terrier. Refusing to leave my pup behind, I listed her as a Boston Terrier mix, and when we showed up for our pet interview (yes, that is a thing), the leasing agent brought her own dog—a Pitbull—who could've been my dog's twin. We laughed it off, and she never did question the breed, though we both clearly knew.
